LONGEST EARRINGS Very little competition shown to Helen Mulvey, unless we except her old pal, Helen Mulcahy. Virginia Hughes was also accused of being guilty in this respect. CLASS FLAPPER Although Flappers have gone out of date, we boast the only remaining survivor in Helen Mulcahy. And again her shadow, Helen Mulvey, edges into second place. BEST LINE Lillian Lehmann walked off with the cake in this contest by beating Helen McCarthy by eight votes. Tie on the tail end between Mary McGrail and Ruth Middleton. BEST NATURED This vote revealed almost every member of the Junior Class as an aspir- ing candidate, but Louise Budd won out, with Florence Donovan a close second. Gertrude Marshall, Pauline Jenness and Mary McGrail tied for third place. LAZIEST This vote almost turned out to be an avalanche for Mary Murphy, but Carolyn Pattillo demanded recognition in the art of being lazy and got it. Lillian Scheffreen was also in this catalogue. NOISIEST For once in its history, the class was of one mind on the subject of its noisiest member. Theresa Arratto got the cut glass tooth brush! KNOWS IT ALL Alice Whitmore knows everything from the European situation to the latest styles in Greenland. As for Helen McCarthy, she at least thinks she does. ANGEL There is no doubt but her quiet winsome ways won Agnes Hurley this title. Violet Stewart and Elsie Jackson helped to keep up our reputation as a quiet class. to S on

Statistics MOST POPULAR GIRL This honor was voted to Mary Johnson—with a number of votes to spare. Louise Bellows and Mary McGrail came in for a goodly share, and Anne Marshall and Lillian Lehmann did not go unmentioned. GIRL WHO HAS DONE THE MOST FOR C.S.S. It was generally conceded that Anne Marshall deserves this title, with her many accomplishments. PRETTIEST GIRL Not being diplomats, we tell the truth. Ruth Ridyard won the distinc- tion with a grand slam. The few remaining votes were almost evenly di- vided between Evelyn Nadell, Hazel Faulkner and Louise Budd. MOST VERSATILE GIRL Creative writing, dramatics and Sivad are undeniable proofs of the versatility of Lillian Lehmann. Nearly as much could be said in the line of scholarship and so forth for Vera Ambrose; also for Mary McGrail, with the News and Sivad and orchestra, et cetera, ad infinitum. CLASS FLIRT There is little doubt in the mind of the Junior Class as to whom this accomplishment belongs, which, by the way, is proof of the high state of perfection to which she (Ruth Middleton, of course) has developed the art. BEST ATHLETE The pie is awarded to Cora Falconer, the custard to Louise Budd. CLASS HUMORIST It is altogether fitting and proper that our class should have elected Mary McGrail as the Humorist as she is Editor of the Grinds. Mary Murphy, Lillian Lehmann and Theresa Arratto carried off the lesser honors. BEST DANCER Landslide for Margaret Kirby in this vote! There was no need for any other names to appear. CLASS BLUFFER Score one more for Lillian Lehmann. Ask the class, they know.

FRILLIEST GARTERS “How can you tell?’ and “Try to find out,” featured strongly in the an- swers to this question, but Pauline Jenness is either very expert with the needle or is possessed of a lot of lucre, for she won out. WHO EXPECTS TO BECOME A SECRETARY? Margaret Marshall and Madeline Nason have hopes in this direction. We never would have suspected it of Mary McGrail, however. WHO KNOWS EVERYBODY? And here Anne Marshall proved it by being able to get so many subscrip- tions to the Sivad. Mary McGrail has a good following, and the girls in the book store came in for some glory. WHO WILL MAKE THE BEST TEACHER? Honestly, it was a sin to ask this question—Vera Ambrose simply gath- ered in all honors. MOST EFFICIENT SECRETARY Now Madeline Nason, this is what you get for being so brilliant in Short- hand and Typ! And the fact that Vera Ambrose came in second, shows that there will be a good many positions open to her. WHO GIGGLES THE MOST? We didn’t know that there were so many gigglers in this class. Tied for first place were Mildred Tewksbury, Mary Mortimer, Lillian Scheffreen, Evelyn Nadell and Louise Budd! ALWAYS SMILING Again the whole class features itself! But Emily Mansfield, Marion Condon, Winifred McDonough and Gertrude Marshall came out ahead. MOST MUSICAL We needed an adding machine to count up the votes for Mary Mortimer in this case. Very, very far in the rear we found Evelyn Nadell, Mary McGrail and Julia Swift.
